Do I get 30 points toward my next purchase? I hope I have enough doe. I wonder how many people are fawning over this one. I guess I'll have to stag-ger away from this before I'm caught in the headlights... (I was going to say "steer clear" but figured I shouldn't confuse my animals any more than I have).

Sometimes it makes you wonder... If this is a stock cake, what OOPS are they covering up with Deer Bits? And if it *shocked gulp* ISN'T a stock cake who in the name of all that is good left in the world would ORDER, SPECIFICALLY, THAT CAKE!?

I think it is supposed to be coming out of the mist. Like on a cold November morning when you are getting up to go hunting and the deer clears the mist and you blow it away. Which kinda makes it creepier.

"Starry Night" my left buttock cheek! That doesn't look like nighttime at all! A nightMARE, yes. I just hope that it's not a new picture, because the "BEST BY" date on it is Dec 24 09...but that's neither here nor there. It's just ridiculous. The only *haiku" I'd reference would be to say, "Haiku out into the woods and TOSS that thing!"

Oh, and @ANONYMOUS--That "fricithy" SO reminds me of Sylvester the cat and Tweety Bird--he was always drooling about fricathy of Tweety. =^~.~^=

= to add even more surrealism to the whole thing I stupidly thought your reference was to a Maori haka and was wondering how that was going to be presented on a cake, but anyway congratulations on your haiku

I'm going to have to view this one as art. I don't understand where they were going with this, and it sort of looks too old and crunchy for much else but hanging on the wall, so surely no one wants to eat it.

I mean, should we be surprised to find that this was created by a failed artist who never got the attention he's finding by turning to cake? Not that the world was ready for his work in this arena either, mind you....

Blue Jean said..."See, boss? This is my impressionistic CCC! I call it "Foggy Forest." See, the blue swirlies are the sky and the brown swirlies are the forest!"******Yeeaahhh....okey dokey.But I was kind of under the impression that "the forest" should be...oh, I don't know...maybe GREEN??

Oh deer... this one certainly takes the cake! Those brown swirls remind me a "leeetle" too much of my Aunt Leotas hair, right after she came home from the beauty parlor. And who would want to eat hair? Even with a deer perched in it?*urp*!

For a cupcake cake, it is rather pretty ... except for the dead deer. Can't understand the connection with Christmas, though. I mean, the pull date is Christmas Eve, so it must be a holiday cake of some sort.Tricia

@sendingtheclowns: maybe it was a winter forest with sky and bare trees, hence no green. ======================Ahhhh--now that IS a possibilty.Then AGAIN... maybe it was"a winter forest with sky" and NO trees; hence no SENSE.I give up!*runs, babbling incoherently, into imaginary, treeless woods and floating deer heads*=^@.@^=

Something about this suggests that this is, in fact, a dadaist cake. For starters, there's no rhyme or reason to it, nor is it, in fact, an actual cake. It is simply called a cake and is then accepted by the public as a cake even though the public knows way deep down that it is not a cake.

That deer looks like it got caught up in some weird hurricane. Maybe the blue is supposed to be the ocean that the poor decapitated deer is flying over.. I am still trying to figure out why on earth anyone would make a cake like this lol.

But I was kind of under the impression that "the forest" should be...oh, I don't know...maybe GREEN??

(FOR MORE OPTIONS, PRESS "ONE"!)

LOL! You must be one of the fortunate souls who live in a sunnier clime than I do. From where I'm standing at the window, the forest is dark brown, and will be for another month at least.

In a way, I'm glad Milo (or whoever) didn't go for a green forest, or it would look like the Giant Blob was eating Bambi. Or Milo could have tried an autumn theme with red, orange and yellow; Bambi freaks out at the disco!

"LOL! You must be one of the fortunate souls who live in a sunnier clime than I do."................You probably won't see this, as it's been several days, but NO, I don't live in a *sunnier* any such thing! I'm in Vermont...where the Winter lasts until about the first part of May. And in between Winter and Spring is our famous 5th season: mud season. However, around these parts the evergreens (like your spruce, pine, balsam,etc.) have a habit of never going brown on us. Hmmm....maybe that's why they call them "evergreens." =^~.-^=

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
